Crime and Punishment

The socially-psychological novel «Crime and Punishment» is recognized as a masterpiece in world and Russian literature and remains a relevant work included in all school and university programs. The story of student Rodion Raskolnikov has been adapted into film more than twenty-five times.

Conceived as a «psychological report on one crime», Dostoevsky's novel presents a grand artistic-philosophical investigation of human nature, posing to the reader the most important moral and worldview questions – about faith, conscience, sin, choice, and redemption through suffering.
